Major League Offense

The actor Charlie Sheen, 44, above in a police photo, has been ordered to return to court in Aspen, Colo., on Feb. 8, after his arrest there on Christmas morning at a house where he was staying with his wife, Brooke Mueller Sheen, 32, The Associated Press reported. The police responded to a 911 call, according to an Aspen police spokeswoman, Stephanie Dasaro, and Mr. Sheen, the star of the CBS comedy “Two and a Half Men” was taken to the Pitkin County jail and booked for second-degree assault, menacing and criminal mischief.

Menacing involves the use of a gun. This is not Sheen’s first alleged assault on a woman.

To this day, I just love the film “Wall Street”, and can roll my eyes over Oliver Stone’s nonsense and get over it….

But I just have really really REALLY HUGE trouble getting past Charlie Sheen’s vociferous trutherism. To expound such an idea as that is possibly the single most loathsome political act I have seen in my lifetime, and is akin to being a passionate, vociferous holocaust-denier…… in 1944!

In other words, can any sane person hearing someone say, in the year 1944, “oh, all this talk about Jews being rounded up and killed, it’s all just British propoganda”, etc, and not just say this at a cocktail party, but go on national radio and crowded lecture halls to expound on it? Could anyone do such a thing at that particular point in time, and quite simply not be abjectively sympathetic to the Nazis and their goals? To say such things when the war against Hitler is raging hot and fiery, and young Americans are shedding blood daily in it? Not to mention Jews in fact being roundced up and massacred while such a person defends himself with a craven “Hey man, I’m just askin’ some questions… What’s yer problem?”

Trutherism and its adherents disgust me on a level difficult to truly plumb. And its a damn shame, because I kinda liked Charlie Sheen at one time. But I’m not gonna just roll my eyes over this one, and those eyes are getting pretty tired of rolling about these people in general anyway.

Just saw that. And the thing is, it’ll work. She blew a .14 and Sheen blew a .03. She’ll blame her overreaction to a crap ton of alcohol. Sheen’s lawyer will concoct a nice story to make it all fit. And it will all be one silly “misunderstanding.” (At the taxpayer’s expense – police aren’t free) I’m surprised she even remembers the phone call!

If Charlie more or less follows OJ’s script, we can look forward to another violent outburst, after which Mueller runs to a Battered Woman’s Shelter, and confides to her diary that Sheen will kill her and get away with it.

Mueller is later found butchered along with anyone who happens to be standing around, Charlie has some sort of sketchy alibi, corroborated by his next wannabe Mrs Sheen drinking buddy bed partner and by his daddy who just happened to recall stopping at Charlie’s place for a brief visit that fateful evening.

The trial will be conducted in the pages of the LA Times, but only after Charlie gets back from 3 weeks at the Betty Ford Center. His legal team will drag out the jury selection, only drunk washed-up Roman Polanski types will make the cut, and TV will get free programing for 6 months. Eventually, after the ratings fall below Soap Opera levels, Charlie walks, but within the next year police get a 911 domestic violence call from his home phone.
